It doesn't break the barrier, but it now lets you get around it.  The product?
PC-DOS 3.30 has finally taken into account hard drives larger than 32Mb.  This
has come about because IBM is now shipping larger drives.  Let's not get into
the political reasons.

Anyway, if you get get PC-DOS 3.30, you can partition your hard drive into
one physical drives and multiple logical drives.  Each logical drive can
be 32Mb as well.  The logical drives are mapped into the system after the
physical drives.
